Queen Elizabeth’s Amusing Response to Guests Breaking Royal Protocol

A former royal family butler, Grant Harreld, who served King Charles III and Queen Camilla from 2004 to 2011, has unveiled a delightful anecdote involving Queen Elizabeth's reaction when her guests veered off royal protocol during a dinner.

Renowned for her sense of humor, the late Queen was often captured in jovial moments while conversing with friends and family.

Harreld recounted a particular incident where the Queen astounded her guests after they disregarded protocol at the dinner table.

In an exclusive revelation on behalf of Slingo, Harreld shared a captivating story that showcased the late Queen's spontaneous and humorous nature.

Recalling the incident, he narrated, “One night I walked in to announce dinner.

I went to see her and I came up and nodded and said dinner's ready and there were other guests there.”

To his surprise, instead of following the customary dining etiquette by promptly heading to the dining room, the guests remained engrossed in conversation in another room.

Struck by the unexpected turn of events, Harreld found himself in a dilemma as he witnessed the Queen taking matters into her own hands.

Describing the comical scene, he explained, “She walked out of the room and it looked like she walked back towards the room and no one else followed her.”

Sensing the urgency of the situation, Harreld swiftly made his way to guide the guests to the dining area, all while maintaining decorum befitting his role as a butler.

Upon reaching the dining room, Harreld was met with a heartwarming sight as the Queen, with a mischievous glint in her eye, acknowledged the guests' belated arrival with a wink of approval.

Reflecting on the moment, Harreld expressed his admiration for the Queen's charismatic demeanor, remarking, “I was like, oh my god, you're so cool, and I loved it.”

This incident encapsulated the Queen's endearing personality, known and cherished by those who had the privilege of interacting with her.

The Queen's penchant for humor has been a recurring theme in anecdotes shared by those close to her.

Historian Robert Lacey commended her fondness for light-hearted moments, describing her humor as often self-deprecating and subtly mocking.

Prince Harry, in particular, has highlighted his grandmother's exceptional sense of humor as one of her most admirable traits, emphasizing the joy she brought to those around her.
